Poulomi Hari

I have been watching the show since its inception. Never missed an episode. But as the series continues, so does the main character Porus' bovine attitude. I forgave when they threw a baby Porus down the Niagra falls and still made him survive. I forgave Anusuya's legendary fall in the same Niagra fall, with a giant rock tied to her legs, and she still came back as a mad woman. And again I forgave how her memory came back all of a sudden seeing her husband's face. But how can I forgive the fact that a prince would recklessly burn down a market in his own city, which had his own countrymen, as a revenge for the fire in his pirate world. And then he discovers a huge Parsi treasure which he assumes Darius had accumulated by foul play, and then tells his pirate friends to loot it and re-settle the pirate world! What the hell? He is a prince! He is looting his country's wealth and giving it to pirates on the name of looting Parsi people's looted money, which could have been hard earned! I was baffled with level of stupidity and over smartness of the main character. This is not the Porus an Indian should be proud of, someone who picks up fights for the silliest of reasons. There is no depth in his character. And so how do you make him a hero? Right, by showing emotional drama. How he loves his mother, his girlfriend, his step brother for whom he is ready to sacrifice his life! Ughh. I wait for the Greek plot. They did well to hide Pausanius's actual story, how he was homosexually raped by Attalus. They cleverly hid all the details for Indian audience. It is okay, at least there is some fun to watch these flawed characters. I just hate the Indian plot. They are overdoing it. Rohit Purohit, who plays Alaxander, deserves all the applause for portraying his character with such conviction. My little advice to the makers: please don't over-demonize Alexander. And kindly, kindly, kindly stop over eulogizing Porus! Otherwise: a visual treat. Earlier review: Beautiful, grand, ambitious, a masterpiece. I loved the epic scale of the show. It's something we can proudly show to a global audience. This show can put many international shows to shame. Shot like a beautiful movie with the epic scale of GOT or LOTR, I am totally awed and satisfied with the content. Maybe they still need to work on their pacing. But Indian audience loves slow-mo cheesy melodrama, hence they are not to be blamed. Calling it a TV version of Bahubali will be undermining it's quality. Though Bahubali is great in its own way, I am more up for this show because they are showcasing Indians as well as Greeks in the same grandiosity with characters which are far more humane. Hope it gets its due appreciation. Well done Siddharth kumar Tewary.

Let me just take a moment to appriciate how gorgeous this movie is. Its a MOVIE. Thats how you make a MOVIE. The colors, the art pieces, the set, costumes, even the CGI is just on point! Its ecstatic. It draws you to another world. Now the story. Wooof. There IS a story. The story of a woman. The central plot of the sleeping around in the Thakur Bari is very much inspired from the Thakur Family drama of Rabindranath Tagore. The lead character, Bulbul, is very much inspired from the real Kadambari Devi, and Satya is quite like a minion of Tagore himself. But that aside, there's much more. You see it coming, you know the Chudail. But its more like the making of that chudail, which is the story about. Its painful, its tragic.Its NOT a horror movie, nope. Its a thriller. But oh boy is it awesome. I would totally recommend this movie to my international friends. And I would happily vote for it as our official entry for the

This show was honestly very refreshing. It served high quality content without any of those typical Cheap thrills of other hindi serials. There are no dramatic pauses, no kitchen politics, just straight up harsh realities of life. They tpuched upon sensitive topis which is very praiseworthy. So sad that this show was abruptly cancelled. I wish the makers get to make its second season and the stpry gets to finish.

scary, creepy, psychological thriller. I was totally lost in this movie. Impressive work.

Usually I hate action thrillers coz I feel action scenes break the story narration. But for the first time I sincerely enjoyed the action scenes in particular. This show is about a Mercenary Soldier who was falsely accused for the murder of his girlfriend, and comes back to his country only to find that the people involved in that were powerfl high ranking politicians. Of course there was thrill, but more than that, the actin scenes looked generic, thus adding a whole lot character to the story. The stars of the show are Ji Chang Wook and Song Yoo Na. The female lead Im Yoona isn't very interesting. However Song Yoona, playing the antiagonist carries the weight of the show to a far new height. I particularly liked her character, and her chemistry with the lead actor. There is an implication of age-gap love story, however it isn't implored. The themes are dark and gritty, and yet the story is bingeworthy. I enjoyed JiChang Wook's performance the best. His performance was lot more grounded. Song Yoona shines because of her fantastic character, however there are moments when you find her too cocky. But over all I loved the series for its fresh take on action-crime-thriller genre.
